> Do people believe that they’re going to actually die because of global warming? Climate change can be obdserved and measured. (Nitpick, but the 80's term "global warming" is used less often these days since it's confusing for some people, because climate change can have vastly different effects in different areas, not just simply "warming") We already know that heatwaves are killing people and droughts are affecting the entire food chain, again, killing people for years already. [1] You might take the position that these very real deaths are not caused by climate change (disagreeing with scientific consensus), that they are merely a fluke in the climate history of our planet, but then you'd have to, at least for yourself, define an "evidence threshold" which, when presented, would make you go "ok, now it's undeniably man-made climate change that is killing these people", because the slow graduality of the process makes it hard to intuitively see cause and effect.
